The death of former Kraftwerk pioneer has been confirmed. Probably one of the most influential musicians people have never heard of.
and the site receives a small commission
RIP Florian Schneider

Just seen the news..... sad but so many memories snd influences.
73 is not ancient these days but for me, as a lover of electronic music from so
many places and decades so much came out of Germany and Dusseldorf was a centre for a while. I even got close to seeing them live in London in 1981 - the guy selling a ticket did not turn up.
Anyway, the German electronic music influence has stayed strong with me and is reflected in my music collection.
I never got my head around all the legals that beset the ‘group’ and what part the Kling Klang record label had!
Tonight I will listen to The Man Machine.......

One of the most influential bands in popular music culture, Trans Europ Express is still one of my favourite tracks.
Found it strange when I was in Dusseldorf there was nothing tangible to celebrate them or their music.
Here is the very train that inspired the classic album and track
